I think I have worked out the right chords,
and a lot easier to play

        COLD COLD GROUND
 
                              
  Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe 
                                     
  Never slept with a dream before he had to go away 
                                    
  There`s a bell in the tower Uncle Ray bought a round 
                                     
  Don`t  worry 'bout the army in the cold cold  ground  

                  
  Cold cold  ground 
                     
  In the cold cold ground 
                     
  In the cold cold ground 

                                       
  Now don`t be a cry baby when there`s wood in the shed
                                       
  There`s a bird in the chimney and a stone in my bed 
                                             
  When the road`s washed out, they pass the bottle around
                                  
  And wait in the arms,... of the cold cold ground  

                 
  Cold cold  ground
                     
  In the cold cold ground
                    
  In the cold cold ground 

                                       
  There`s a ribbon in the willow and a tire swing rope
                                      
  And a briar patch of berries takin` over the slope
                                            
  The cat`ll sleep in the mailbox and we`ll never go to town 
                                     
  Till we bury every dream,... in the cold cold ground  

                  
  Cold cold  ground
                     
  In the cold cold ground
                     
  In the cold cold ground 

                                 
  Gimme a Winchester rifle and a whole box of shells
                                         
  Blow the roof of the goat barn, let it roll down the hill
                                
  The piano is firewood, Times square is a dream 
                                           
  I find we`ll lay down together,... in the cold cold ground 


                    
  Cold cold  ground
                     
  In the cold cold ground
                     
  In the cold cold ground 

                                                         
  Call the cops on the Breedloves, bring a bible and a rope 
                                
  And a whole box of rebel and a bar of soap 
                                 
  Make a pile of trunk tires and burn `em all down 
                                                    
  Bring a dollar with you baby,... in the cold cold ground  

                    
  Cold cold  ground
                     
  In the cold cold ground
                     
  In the cold cold ground 

                                     
  Take a weather vane rooster, throw rocks at his head
                                         
  Stop talking to the neighbours till we all go dead 
                                            
  Beware of my temper and the dog that I`ve found 
                                                    
  Break all the windows,...... in the cold cold ground 

                 
  Cold cold  ground
                     
  In the cold cold ground
                         Let Ring
  In the cold cold ground
